Clicking · TECHNIQUE
Linear
Targets travel along predictable straight lanes, isolating trajectory reading and the timing of a single controlled intersection.
What it is
Linear clicking sits between static and fully dynamic clicking. Motion is present, but the path is stable enough to emphasize timing rather than emergency reacquisition.
Core technique
Identify the lane and target velocity, place the crosshair onto a reachable point of that lane, then click when the target crosses. In hitscan tasks, this is timing an intersection—not projectile leading.
Execution
Avoid matching the target forever. Arrive ahead only as far as your visual read supports, stabilize the cursor, confirm the crossing and transition to the next lane.
What to focus on
Keep your eyes on the target while peripheral vision monitors the crosshair. Consistent timing matters more than guessing aggressively.
Common mistakes
- Leading beyond the readable path.
- Turning the drill into prolonged tracking.
- Clicking from rhythm alone after the target speed changes.

Demonstration
Each two-second pause isolates one essential decision. After the guided sequence, the full task continues without interruption.
